Outer Limits 4x4 Board

On my recent trip to Phuket I saw a few very cool zooks.

1.2L EFI manual Leafy LWB sierra with extra cab hard top and coily front clip






I wonder if we can persuade suzuki australia to bring some in?

NIIIIIIIIIIICE

would be good to pillage the EFI setup off some wrecked ones and ship them in hmmm

i just relised .... 1.2L typo or totally differant engine

It's looks like a narrow track too. What a mixed up car!

Looks like they treat em better than the Fijiians, like this one taken by me mum.

Check with some Grey Importers they may be able to bring them in
You could bring a body only in but you may have ADR compliance dramas

have you got any photos of chicks shooting ping pong balls at the zooks?

OEM Rear Disc brakes, i suddenly need to go to bali

Shorty has ABS too

Hmmm... It says Front: Disk - floating caliper type, Rear: Disk - leading trailing.
Thats a bit contradictory.. leading - trailing is drum brake terminology

I bet they still have drums.

I bet they mean the handbrake (with leading/trailing shoes)is inside the disc. Like Volvo or Commodore.

From a 5 minute look on google I found there are hundreds of thousands of these Suzuki Caribian's in S.E Asia especially Thailand. I have already sent Emails to every Thailand Suzuki dealer/wrecker I can find asking about powersteering and A/C availability. I'll import a heap if the price is right. Anyone interested in a NEW RHD Sierra (not jimny or Vit)powersteer box?

Yes please, be interesting to know what the panels would be worth too

yeh i'll have a steering box too but a jimny one will do me if anybody has one. did anyone else notice it said rack and pinion?

yeah if price is good i'd be keen. need power now its locked!

Chop

yeah power steer sounds good ... let us know how much an I'll see if its in the budget

Um Bali is not in Thailand

I started a similar thread last year before i went to Thailand.

the prices on parts etc despite our dollar being stroger than theirs were pretty comparable to here.

From memory it was around $700 for a power steer setup. I drove around a few wreckers etc there and could not get any good prices.

I haven't had much luck finding a dealer willing to send from thailand, BUT I have had some success..... I can get brand new power steering boxes to suit a Maruti Gypsy from India...One source so far says US$96 (AU$125) each plus freight. Is a Maruti Gypsy chassis and steering box the same as Sierra? I would assume it is, but I have to be sure before I import a few thousand dollars worth of parts.

Yes the chassis and steering box are the same. I have one.

ALLRIGHT... so Maruti is the same..... I need a Suzuki OR Maruti powersteering box part number... Can anyone help? It looks like I'll be able to land boxes here for about $225-$250 each. Then you just need pump,brackets,belt and lines, which I will be able to get GENUINE. My contact in India can supply any MARUTI Genuine Parts and Accessories. A full catalog will come with my first order so I guess I'll be ordering again. I wonder how much is the same! Brand new carbies, starter motors, windscreen frames, tailgates etc etc etc !!! woohoo

According to the Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue, this is a powersteering box:

48600-70A50

If you can give me a Maruti chassis number I can check this is the right one.

Ben

Mine is a Suzuki.... Can anyone donate a MARUTI chassis number for research purposes?

i want some of the seats from it they look really comfy on the site
